place in the Spring of 2004 (he was interviewed, etc), because there was no directive from
the Department of Justice or from Office of the General Counsel - FBI to go back and do
such follow up. (b)(6),(b)(7)(C) said that, probably what triggered the follow up in the
Spring of 2004, was that the Abu G scandal made people think about what had been going

be problematic." (b)(6),(b)(7)(C) also said he asked David Nahmias what Department of
